Wow. What a shock. A rightie nutcase using violent images in their post. He got out because he couldn't stand the death threats from people like you.

Ironically Stupak made a statement about threats and profainity laced phone calls to his personal number BEFORE the healthcare vote when he said he was voting against it. That would seem to indicate ths source of the Threats was from the left.

Stupak is a liar. He lied when he said he would not vote for the HC bill without stronger abortion language, and he lied when he said the tea party had nothing to do with his decision to not run for re-election. He went from hero to villain. Modern day Benedict Arnold.

Stupak just realized that, like elections, important votes have consequences. He gave in to the arm twisting. Now it's time to pay the piper. Why bother with fund raising if you know you're going down, bigtime?

Now that he's joined the liars club, he's finding the lies come easy.

Dan Benishek, Stupak's Republican opponet, has already collected $900,000 in pledges and in funds raised in the three weeks since the vote.

Stupake saw what was in store in November, so he is going to "retire" now and keep all the unspent campaign contributions he has in the Bank.

Stupak is going to collect on Obama's offer of a job in return for a vote.

Make him Ambassador to Ukraine perhaps?
